Chapter 14 Hongyu Group

Entering the room, Liu Kun went straight to the point: "Mr. Ling, I'll be frank, I saw your skills last time at the Nanrong family's place and I was quite impressed. Our company is currently in need of this kind of talent, so I would like to invite you to join us."

Ha!

Ling Chen secretly rejoiced, he was just worrying about not having a job, and unexpectedly someone handed him an opportunity so soon.

Last time he was drinking with Nanrong Hao, he remembered him mentioning that Hongyu Group, managed by the Nanrong Family, was a well-known enterprise in East Sea City, and the benefits of joining would definitely be more generous than before.

"Housekeeper Liu, what is this job you're talking about?"

"Security."

"Security?" Ling Chen was slightly taken aback, then he shook his head: "No way."

It wasn't that he despised anything else, mainly the security uniform was just too ugly.

"Monthly salary of thirteen thousand, meals included but no accommodation, and there's a bonus every month if you perform well."

"Pfft! Only thirteen tho... Huh?" Ling Chen thought he had misheard, so he quickly asked, "What did you just say the salary was, thirteen hundred or..."

"Thirteen thousand."

"When can I start?"

Ling Chen's attitude made a complete 180-degree turn.

You're joking, a monthly salary of thirteen thousand, who cares about wearing a security uniform, he'd work without clothes if necessary.

Thirteen thousand though!

Thinking about living a petty bourgeoisie life like that, he felt like his mouth was about to split with joy.

"Mr. Ling, if it's convenient for you, I can take you to the company now to handle your employment procedures."

"Okay."

Ling Chen quickly changed into a set of clothes and followed Liu Kun out of the house.

After half an hour's drive, the two finally arrived at the headquarters of Hongyu Group.

Looking at the sixty-story building in front of him, Ling Chen's eyes shined, and his mouth stayed wide open in awe.

"Mr. Ling, please follow me."

Walking into the lobby, Liu Kun led Ling Chen to the HR department and handled his onboarding procedures. With Liu Kun present, the normally cumbersome procedures were simplified and expedited. In just a few minutes, Ling Chen had signed the employment contract and officially became a part of Hongyu Group.

"Mr. Ling, I'll first take you to the security department to meet the other colleagues, and you'll officially start work tomorrow."

"Thank you, Housekeeper Liu."

The security department was on the first floor. Ling Chen followed Liu Kun to the office door, just about to push it open, when a man in a security uniform with an acne-scarred face came out.

Seeing Liu Kun, the acne-faced man quickly stood straight and said: "Mr. Liu."

Liu Kun nodded, pointing to Ling Chen behind him: "Wei Jun, let me introduce you to your new colleague, Ling Chen."

Their eyes met, and both Ling Chen and Wei Jun were startled, exclaiming simultaneously: "It's you?"

"You know each other?"

"Met once." Ling Chen grinned.

This Wei Jun was the acne-faced man he had an argument with last time at the bar; unexpectedly, he also worked at Hongyu and had now become his colleague.

"Since you two know each other, that's great. Mr. Ling, Wei Jun is the deputy team leader of the security department, let him show you around later. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave first."

After sending Liu Kun off, Ling Chen warmly clapped Wei Jun on the shoulder.

"Brother Wei, we really are fated to meet here again. Don't take the bar incident to heart."

Now that he was working under someone else, naturally, he needed to build a good relationship to avoid making things difficult for himself later.

As they say, don't slap a smiling face. With Ling admitting his mistake proactively, Wei Jun had no good reason to pursue the matter further. Moreover, this guy was personally brought in by Liu Kun, likely someone with considerable backing, so Wei didn't dare offend him too much.

"That day, I was also at fault. Let's not dwell on the past. Ling, come on, let me show you around and get you familiar with the place."

The job of a security guard is simple, mainly patrolling and standing guard, but what's important is a sense of responsibility.

Under Wei Jun's guidance, it took less than half an hour for Ling Chen to get a general understanding of the building.

"Ling, it's twelve o'clock. Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch."

"Okay."

Hongyu Building has a dedicated staff cafeteria that offers free meals. Ling Chen and Wei Jun went to the cafeteria, got their meals, and found a seat to sit down, chatting while eating.

"Wei, how long have you been working at Hongyu Group?"

"Over two years."

"The pay must be really good, right?"

Considering I earn thirteen thousand, Wei Jun, as a deputy, must earn more.

"It's okay, I take home over three thousand a month."

Ling Chen was shocked. Just over three thousand? That's a huge difference.

But then again, Liu Kun personally hired him and offered such a high salary, probably because he valued his skills. Thinking this, he felt relieved.

At this moment, all the employees in the cafeteria stopped what they were doing with their chopsticks and looked towards the entrance.

Curious, Ling followed Wei's gaze and his eyes immediately fixed on a tall, long-legged beauty pushing a wheelchair into the cafeteria.

Nanrong Wanqing!

Seeing the woman in the wheelchair, even though Ling had only seen her once, he was still struck by her stunning appearance.

While admiring her, a cold gaze suddenly shot his way, catching his attention. He looked up and found himself staring into the fiery eyes of the tall beauty.

This girl has sharp eyes; she caught me.

Ling Chen grinned and winked at Su Lin.

Seeing his action, Su Lin was inwardly furious. What is this jerk doing here, delivering packages?

Immediately, she whispered something into Nanrong Wanqing's ear and then let go of the wheelchair, striding quickly to Ling Chen, her presence intimidating as she asked, "Ling, what are you doing here?"

Ling waved his hand in front of her and laughed, "Miss Su, do you have a problem with your eyes? Can't you see I'm eating here?"

"This is an internal staff cafeteria at Hongyu; you, an outsider, have no right to eat here. Get out now."

Wei Jun quickly intervened, "Miss Su, he is now an employee of our company."

"What?"

Su Lin looked incredulous.

"Miss Su, if your eyesight is bad, you should still be able to hear, did you clearly hear what Wei said?"

"You... I don't care who hired you, I'm firing you right now."

"Wei, does Miss Su hold any position in the company that gives her the authority to fire me?"

Wei Jun was just about to speak when a glance from Su Lin shut him up, making him dare not utter a word.

"Ling, let me tell you, this is my turf. Even if I hold no position, I can still fire you."

Ling Chen shrugged nonchalantly.

"I've heard that Hongyu Group is a well-known enterprise in East Sea City, with strict policies. I didn't expect it to be so lax, a non-employee relying on connections to lord over inside the company, showing no respect for employees. Everyone, you've seen it. Be careful in the future; if you encounter Miss Su, it's better to take a detour. Don't get targeted by her, or you won't even know how you died."
